Brazilian telco Century will invest R$150m ($27m) for its second data center in Contagem, Brazil.

Announced in early June, the facility is estimated to become operational in the first half of 2026. Details about capacity were not made available.

It will be located in the city of Contagem, which is west of Belo Horizonte, the state capital of Minas Gerais.

The company’s first data center, which occupies 1,000 sqm (11,000 sq ft) and offers 120 racks, is also located in Contagem.

Century also provides internet, security, voice, and data services.

Most data centers in Brazil are located in São Paulo, the financial center of the country. A variety of players have recently come into the Brazilian market, including ByteDance, Roblox, and Equinix.
